     In August 1927 three musicians arrived at a makeshift recording studio in   
   Bristol, Tennessee, to audition for a talent scout from the Victor Talking   
   Machine Company. The songs A.P. Carter, his wife Sara and her cousin   
   Maybelle recorded that day drew upon the rich musical traditions of their   
   native rural Appalachia. The Carter Family sang of love and loss,   
   desperation and joy, and their music captured the attention of a nation   
   entering the darkest days of the depression. In the coming years, with the   
   release of songs such as Keep on the Sunnyside, Will the Circle Be Unbroken   
   and Wildwood Flower, Carter Family record sales exploded. Maybelle would   
   invent a unique style of playing known as the "Carter scratch."   
      
   Success, however, brought sorrow to the Carter's personal lives.
